A leaf?

A couple of days ago I noticed a tiny green bump appearing at the base of one of my African violet leaf cuttings. It is very hard to photograph, as the camera doesn't want to focus on it:
However, it seems to be a little larger each time I look at it, and now I'm sure it is a leaf developing. If so, it should get easier to photograph as it grows.

This leaf is the one at the bottom right of this photo from May:
One of the two with a dark red flower. The other from this plant has had a root appear above the surface, as have the two at the bottom left in this photo, so it seems at least 4 of them have taken. But the first leaf is pretty exciting!
